Default oil leak from drain plug

I recently noticed that I have a light oil leak from my draig plug, is there anything I can do? I use a crush washer every time, could that be the problem?

Use the washer that's OEM and make sure the area is clean before putting the drainplug in. Are you positive it's leaking from there? If so then that's your problem.

from what you are saying, it sounds like either the plug or the pan is stripped. Try a new plug and see if that works, if not you will need to get a new pan (moroso anybody....)

ebay is the best place i have seen. You can get the 5 qt oil pan with baffles for 240 shiped, and a stock replacement for 130 shipped.
